This is Rotating Quiz 195. Entries must be posted by Friday, September
4th, 2015 at 11 PM (Eastern Daylight Time).
Usual rules: no looking anything up, no discussion, etc. The winner
gets to create the next RQ.
Please post your answers to all questions in a single followup in the
newsgroup, quoting the questions and placing your answer below each
one. Only one answer is allowed per question.
The answers have a theme. Unlike in some previous RQs the scoring is
not affected by the theme. Instead it is a simple 1 point per correct
answer. If the answer is a person's name the surname is sufficient,
but if other names are given they must be correct. If the answer is
not a person's name then all commonly-used parts of the answer must be
given (e.g. if the answer to a question were "Deutsche Bank" both
words would be required, but the "AG" at the end would not be).
In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be whoever scored on the
hardest questions (defined post-facto as the ones which the fewest
people got right). Second tiebreaker will be posting order.
1. While not as well-known as the Grand Canyon, this system of six
canyons in the state of Chihuahua in Mexio is larger, and some parts
of it are deeper.
2. This Canadian actor has appeared in many movies and TV shows over
the years, including Scanners, at least two V series, Total Recall,
and Terminator Salvation , and has also done a lot of voice acting for
animated TV shows (such as Transformers Prime) and video games. He
shares a surname with a man who was Chief of the Imperial General
Staff early in WWII.
3. This American statistician spent a number of years analyzing
baseball but is better-known now for his political analsyses; in 2008
he correctly predicted the winner of all US Senate races and the
winner of 49 states in the presidential election. He is currently
editor-in-chief of ESPN's FiveThirtyEight blog.
4. This US-based investment banking firm is one of the largest in the
world. It was founded in 1869, joined the NYSE in 1896, and first took
a company (Sears Roebuck) public in 1906. Since then it has been
involved in numerous high-profile IPOs including those of Ford,
Microsoft, and recently Twitter.
5. This American author has published dozens of novels for adults,
every single of which has been on the best-seller lists; in 1989 the
Guinness Book of World Records said she had the most consecutive weeks
(381) on the New York Times list. Many if not all of her novels are
categorized as romances. More than twenty have been adapted for
TV. (They are not as popular with critics.) She has also written a
number of books for young children.
6. This Canadian band has released eight studio albums beginning with
1996's Curb. That went gold in Canada; all their subsequent albums
have gone platinum or multi-platinum in Canada and all except the most
recent have done the same in the US. Rolling Stone magazine readers
voted them the second-worst band of the 1990s (they were beaten by
Creed).
7. This first novel by Guenter Grass is narrated by a man(?) who never
grows up. A film based on parts of it won the Palme d'Or in 1979 and
the best foreign-language Oscar in 1980.
8. Most satellite phone providers use satellites in geosynchronous
orbits. However, two use low earth orbit satellites. This one, the
larger of the two, has 66 active satellites in polar orbits and claims
to provide service to the entire surface of the Earth.
9. Supposedly Albertus Magnus made one of these and Thomas Aquinas,
annoyed by the noise it produced, smashed it. This is very unlikely to
be true; even if one ignores the fact that it is scientifically
impossible, such objects were attributed to pretty much everyone in
medieval Europe who had scientific interests, including Roger Bacon
and Robert Grosseteste.
10. This Queen frontman was Farrokh Bulsara when he was born in the
Sultanate of Zanzibar, but starting using a different first name as a
boy and changed his surname early in his career.

Arrrgh. After considerable time I still can't think of any noisy,
scientifically impossible object with a metal in its name. I'll
give up and say "perpetual-motion device".
